Ferrari 250 Tyres

Ferrari 250 GT Lusso on Borrani Wheels and 185 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 Tyres

Ferrari 250 1952–1964

The first Ferrari 250 cars; Europa, GT Boano, Ellena, GT TdF, GT Cabriolet (S1), PininFarina Coupe, GT California Spider LWB fitted 6.00-16 PIRELLI STELLA BIANCA tyres as standard.
These Ferrari 250 cars later fitted 185 VR 16 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67.
Some of these early pre-1960 cars offered 400mm RW 3598 Borrani wheels so they could fit the radial 175 HR 400 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67.
In 1960, Ferrari started to fit 15” 185 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 radial tyres to the road models 250 GT/E, and 250 GT Cabriolet S2, 250 GT Lusso.
Many of these ‘60s 250 Ferrari’s with 15” wheels tend to fit 205/70 R15 tyres as a more modern low profile option. It is worth noting that 70% profile tyres were not invented till 1968. However, the wheel rims that Ferrari chose to fit were very wide and could handle these wider tyres.

A German automotive magazine conducted a Classic Car Tyre Test using a Jaguar E-Type. Their findings indicated that the PIRELLI CINTURATO™ CN12 is the optimal 205/70 R15 tyre for classic cars lacking power steering. For vehicles equipped with power steering, the PIRELLI P5 was deemed superior.
Racing cars from this period would fit Dunlop Racing tyres. There are also Avon CR6ZZ tyres, but it is worth remembering that these tyres don’t look right because they are completely modern.

The 185 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 was original equipment on lots of the Ferrari 250 GT cars that were fitted with 15" wheels. I think the 15" Cinturato was original equipment on the Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series 2, 250 GTE 2+2 & 250 GT Lusso. I even think if you bought a 250 GTO road-going car it would have fitted the185 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 tyres.

"Dear Sirs where can I buy these tires in Switzerland?
